Stomp Out Cancer Presents "Musicians Fight Ewing’s Sarcoma: HOPE" - the second volume of our series in fund raising CD’s.
This CD includes tracks from musicians all over the World who have come together to contribute their music to help us raise money for children with Ewing’s Sarcoma.
The funds we raise from our CD sales will go to the John Hopkins Sarcoma Research Center, so they can fund research into less toxic treatment methods, and early detection methods - and to possibly find a cure! Ben Lanman, who this CD is in tribute to - was a patient there, and we are happy to report that he is free from Ewing’s Sarcoma, and is a happy healthy 10 year old boy! Ben turned 11 years old on the day that our Volume 2 CD released, and we hope that you will order your copy today so that we can make Ewing’s Sarcoma a thing of the past.

After returning from a family vacation to Disney World in October of 2005, my 8 year old son, Ben, complained of pain in his right thigh. We thought he had pulled a muscle from all the walking we had done, so we just had him rest it. The pain persisted for a few days and caused Ben to limp, so we took him in to see his pediatrician. An x-ray was ordered and did not reveal any abnormalities. We were told that Ben had probably strained a muscle or was experiencing growing pains. Then the pain left as quickly as it had come. Three weeks later it was back, but this time more severe. The pain was always worse at night. A second x-ray and blood work were ordered only to again reveal nothing abnormal. Then, once again, the pain disappeared. When it came back a third time it was so extreme that it would wake him from sleep screaming in pain. He was given strong pain medication and muscle relaxers, but they only took the edge off.
Ben learned a lot about himself and others during his confinement in the cast. People would naturally stare at him with looks of pity. This made him very uncomfortable. He quickly learned that a smile and a quick “hi” would change their look of pity into a smile or even open the door to a conversation. That way people would quickly find out that he was “okay,” and needed more prayers than pity. Ben wanted nothing more than to be treated normally. He loves to laugh and to make people laugh. He had three different casts during those three months. Each time he would go in for a cast change he would have to be anesthetized because the doctors would have to suspend him in mid-air while they washed him and wrapped the new cast around his body. The docs always asked him what color cast he wanted before he went in. The last cast was put on in June and Ben knew it would be on through the 4th of July. He wanted it to be red, white and blue striped. We thought that was asking a bit much of the doctors, but much to our surprise, when Ben came out of the operating room he had the absolute coolest red, white and blue striped cast. He was so happy! The next day his tutor painted white stars on the blue part, so now he looked even more patriotic! That cast was a real conversation piece. He had done really well for being so confined for so long. Toward the end he was getting antsy and agitated, and just wanted to be able to feel a hug. He had always been my snuggly boy who would just curl up into me when he slept…now he was missing that. 
Ben continued with physical therapy and was getting stronger every day. It’s hard to keep a ten-year old down. His hair started coming in nicely. It was great to see eyelashes again. By looking at him, you couldn’t tell that he was any different from any other kid. The only evidence left was the shoe with the lift on it, but that didn’t slow him down a bit. Much to our dismay, it wasn’t long until Ben was on his scooter again. Barry and I did our best to not overprotect him. We were told he probably wouldn’t be able to ride a bike again because of the around motion needed for pedaling. Well, nobody bothered telling Ben that. It didn’t take him long to figure out how to do it without a hip. His physical therapist and doctors were amazed by all that he could do. They even asked us to make a video of him doing all of it so they could share it with their colleagues. He certainly is a miracle! He continues to amaze us every day.
